We would later find out that the title actually belonged to the current flyweight champion Henry Cejudo who was at the event as a guest fighter.

On top of that, we found out that Gastelum was battling a staph infection which then garnered some scathing remarks from Conor McGregor who questioned why a ‘worm’ like Gastelum was walking around with the title.

Of course, Gastelum wasn’t too fond of that as he fired back on Monday.

“Oh my god, you want to talk about a leper?” Gastelum said of McGregor on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show. “A guy that’s full of disease that’s spreading disease all over Ireland? That’s Conor McGregor. He’s spreading his seed all over Ireland, impregnating ladies and not claiming them. That dude’s a leper. Forget him.”

Whether or not the winner of season 17 of The Ultimate Fighter will still get his title shot next remains to be determined after Adesanya’s win. However, if there’s any truth to UFC President Dana White’s words, he will indeed be getting just that.
